Abstract
Atrial flutter can have serious short- and long-term consequences. Treatment options for an acute attack include direct-current cardioversion, atrial pacing, and intravenous drug therapy. For chronic disease or for recurrence, treatment options include ablation of the flutter, rate-controlling therapy, and antiarrhythmic drugs. Anticoagulation should be considered.Entities:
